Title: Submermisable pump.
Post by: Klean07 on December 27, 2010, 03:05:12 pm
Does anyone know where I can get one that will fit into an ibc tank. The diameter of hole in top is 7ins.

I've tried most of these places and yes they all sell good pumps but all too big for my ibc.

Not a problem ;)

Just cut 4 radial slots from the lip of the screwed hole outwards as far as necessary to allow the pump to drop through.  Bend the plastic up and back so you can get the pump in, fold the plastic back again and seal with gaffer tape or plastic plumbing cement.

I did that 5 years ago - never any problems
